Who we are
About the farm
In the Scottish Borders, at Hardiesmill near Gordon, we are a family farm raising pure-bred pedigree Aberdeen Angus cattle on 200 hectares (482 acres); our herd is built on the Thornton bloodlines bred by the family since 1949. Our cattle are born on the farm, spend their whole lives here and eat only grass, grass silage and hay, with no concentrates. We butcher the beef on the farm; our small shop next to the butchery is open Thursday and Friday 10am–6pm and Saturday 9.30am–3pm, and we also sell at Kelso Farmers' Market. We also let a holiday house for six (Coo's View) on the farm.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
